Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved drive apparatus for a carriage or wagon which is movable back and forth upon a guide.
  • a wide variety of devices have become known which are housed upon a carriage which is movable upon guides and which can be displaced together with such carriage back and forth between the ends of the guides, the latter constructed as rails for example.
  • travelling blowers have already come into use for longer times which carry a ventilator mounted to a carriage which blows away dust and fibers from the machine components or parts.
  • drive mechanisms have already become known which, for example, incorporate an endless cable which trains around turning or deflecting rollers applied to the ends of a guide. One of the rollers is driven and the carriage is coupled in suitable manner with the cable in order to generate the to and fro movement. In so doing, in most cases the cable is employed as a pulling member.
  • the present invention starting from an apparatus of the last-mentioned type, is directed to the provision of an improved drive apparatus in which, in addition to the movement of the carriage, at the same time there is available another movement which can be effectively utilized.
  • a further important object of the present invention is directed to the provision of an improved drive apparatus for the movement of a carriage back and forth in a highly reliable and etfective manner, the construction of this drive apparatus being relatively simple and economical.
  • the inventive drive apparatus is characterized by the features that a pulley wheel of the carriage is in driving relation with a working or operable member rotatably mounted at the carriage in order to utilize the rotation resulting from the rolling movement, and that reversing or switching means are provided in order to reverse the direction of movement of the carriage with the direction of rotation of the pulley wheel and the operable member remaining the same.
  • the switching means cooperate with one of the step pulleys and the endless member in order to cause such endless member to change the wrapped around pulley step.
  • An apparatus of the mentioned type has the advantage that the carriage as well as the operable member mounted to such carriage are driven by means of a single stationarily mounted motor. Consequently, there are avoided the troublesome electrical connections necessary for the electric motor of an operable member and heretofore mounted to the carriage. In addition thereto, there is, of course, also rendered simpler installation upon the carriage due to avoiding the use of an additional drive motor. Thus, there can also be used guides which are of lighter construction.
  • the inventive drive apparatus guarantees the preservation of a single direction or rotation of the operable member in spite of changes in the direction of movement of the carriage at its points of turning or reversing. Consequently, it is possible to employ operable members where the direction of rotation must be maintained constant, and, in this manner, to operate or, however, to increase the efficiency of the operable member, for example a ventilator, by designing such for a single direction of rotation.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the invention with belt strands of differently effective rotational speeds and with a purely mechanical reversing or switching mechanism for changing the direction of movement of the travelling blower;
  • FIGURE 2 illustrates a modification of the embodirnent of FIGURE 1, .in this case an electro-magnetic switching or reversing mechanism is employed for changing the travelling direction of movement of the travelling blower;
  • FIGURE 3 illustrates the details of an automatic mechanism for reversing the direction of movement of a travelling blower, which is effective upon abutment of the travelling blower at an obstacle during the movement towards the left, such view being partly in section and shown in elevation;
  • FIGURE 4 illustrates details of the automatic reversal mechanism during the movement of the travelling blower to the right
  • FIGURE 5 is a cross-sectional view of the apparatus of FIGURE 3, taken along the line VV thereof;
  • FIGURE 6 illustrates a further embodiment of drive mechanism with belt strands of the same peripheral speed and shown in elevation
  • FIGURE 7 is a plan view of the embodiment depicted in FIGURE 6;
  • FIGURE 8 is a cross-sectional view of the embodiment of FIGURE 6, taken along the line VIII-VIII thereof.
  • reference numeral 1 designates a guide- Way or track upon which is displace-able a carriage or wagon 2 provided with rollers or runners 3.
  • a ventilator is provided at the carriage 2 which is schematically illustrated by means of its impeller 4.
  • the shaft 5 which is to be driven and carrying the impeller 4, is in driving connection with a belt pulley 6 which is rotatably mounted at the carriage 2 together with the shaft 5 and the ventilator 4.
  • Belt pulleys 7 and 8, 9 are arranged .at both ends of the guideway 1 and possess shafts 7 and 8, respectively, which extend substantially parallel to the shaft 5 of the belt pulley 6, with all such shafts of these belt pulleys advantageously disposed in a common plane.
  • the belt pulley 7, by way of example, is directly mounted upon a shaft 10 of an electric drive motor 11 which is connected to a non-illustrated machine frame supporting the guideway 1.
  • the belt pulley 7, in this embodiment comprises three pulley components or members 7a, 7b and 70 which are rigidly connected for rotation with one another.
  • the turning or deflecting belt pulleys 8 and 9 arranged at the opposite end of the guideway 1 have the same diameter. They are loosely rotatably mounted independently of one another upon a common shaft 12.
  • the shaft 12 in turn, is rigidly connected to the machine frame.
  • An endless drive or power transmission belt, generally designated by reference numeral 13, travels over the belt pulley means 6, 7, 8 and 9.
  • This drive belt 13 is advantageously divided into a number of driving and driven strands or runs. Assuming that the drive shaft 10 rotates in clockwise direction during operation of the electric drive motor 11, it should be appreciated that a driving strand or run 14 extends from the belt pulley means 6 over the deflecting or turning pulley 8 to the pulley member 7a of the belt step pulley 7.
  • a driven strand or run 15 extends from the belt pulley member 7a to the belt pulley 6, and from this location there subsequently extends a driving strand or run 16 to the belt pulley members 7b. From this belt pulley member 7b there extends a driven strand or run 17 which trains about the deflecting belt pulley 9 and finally again connects with the driving strand or run 14 at the belt pulley 6.
  • Belt guide means incorporating a double-arm lever arrangement 19 is pivotably mounted upon a shaft or pin 18 in the neighborhood of the right end of the guideway 1 of FIGURE 1.
  • This double-arm lever arrangement 19 carries at one of its arms 19a two rollers 20 which straddle the driving belt 13.
  • the double-arm lever arrangement 19 carries at a further arm 19b an impact or stop member 21 destined to cooperate with the carriage 2, this arm 19b being also articulated with a rod 22 displaceable in a sleeve or bushing 23 substantially parallel to the guideway 1.
  • an impact or stop member 24 At the end 22a of the rod 22 which is remote from the double-arm lever arrangement 19 and neighboring the left end of the guideway 1, there is provided an impact or stop member 24.
  • This stop member 24 is likewise situated in the path of travel of the carriage 2 and when the latter reaches the corresponding terminal position such stop member cooperates therewith.
  • the rotational speed of the belt strand 14, which only experiences a turning effect via the belt pulley 8, is thus larger than that of the belt strand l6.
  • the rotational speed of the driven belt strand 15 is larger than that of the likewise driven belt strand 17 turned via the belt pulley 9. Consequently, the .belt pulley 6 rolls upon the driving belt strand 16 and the driven belt strand 17 since these possess a lower rotational speed than the belt strands 14 and 15.
  • the belt pulleys and reversing means are also only schematically depicted in the hereinafter described embodiments and do not, of necessity, correspond to a practical embodiment. Additionally, reversal or switch-over can also take place electromagnetically, or hydraulically, instead of mechanically, by employing appropriate end or terminal switches, and the rod 22 is also capable of replacement by a cable or chain. Furthermore, the pulley means 7 disclosed herein can also be designed as an infinitely variable or stepless pulley.
  • step pulley as employed herein is used in a broader sense to include any multiple diameter pulley construction, and therefore, also embraces the aforementioned possibility of an infinitely variable pulley, a pulley construction whose diameter can be varied, and the de picted stepped pulley of the embodiment of FIGURE 1 for instance, having different pulley portions of different diameters. Accordingly, this term step pulley is not to be considered as limited only to the herein pre -viously depicted stepped pulley construction.
  • n 3400 rpm.
  • FIGURE 2 wherein the same reference numerals are again generally employed for substantially the same or analogous elements, there is dipicted a further possibility for controlling switching-over of the driving belt 13 by means of the carriage 2.
  • a respective ter minal or end switch 31 which, in known manner, are suitably operably coupled together by current leads or conductors 32 in a switching box 33 and which are further connected with a magnetic switch 34 mounted in the region of the belt pulley 13 adjacent the belt pulley unit 7.
  • the movable switching plunger or rod 35 of this magnetic switch 34 carries the roller members 36 straddling the belt 13.
  • the associated terminal switch 31 delivers an impulse which moves the switching plunger 35 in the other direction, so that the driving belt 13 is displaced from the belt pulley portion 70 onto the belt pulley portion 7b, this again effecting a reversal of the direction of movement of the carriage 2.
  • the three stage or step pulley 7 is constructed such that the member or portion 7a is rigidly connected with the drive shaft 10 of the electric drive motor 11.
  • Such shaft 10 then advantageously possesses a curved rail or threaded portion 29 in the region of the belt pulley members or portions 7b, 7c.
  • the belt pulley portions 7b, 7c rigidly connected with one another and provided, for instance, with an internal left-hand threading 10a, can move upon the threaded portion 29 of the drive shaft 10.
  • the belt pulley portion 7a Upon contacting an obstacle in the other direction from that assumed during the description of FIGURE 3, and as will be best understood by referring to FIGURE 4, the belt pulley portion 7a is accelerated, so that the pulley portion 7a and the coupled pulley portions 7b, 7c tend to move apart, whereby, at the same time, the belt 13 is displaced onto the pulley disk portion 7b, thus moving the travelling blower in the other direction.
  • This manner of reversing the direction of travel of the carriage 2 can, of course, also be employed at the ends of the path of travel of the carriage, in that cushions or buffers are provided at such location which make it impossible for the carriage to move further.
  • the guideway in this case, comprises two guide rails 43 possessing the cross-sectional configuration of a lying U. These rails 43 are connected via wooden beams 44 to the frame 45 of a spinning machine for instance. A respective wedge-shaped cam 25 and 26 is arranged at each end and between the rails 43.
  • the belt pulley 6 is stationary and possesses a common drive shaft 10 with the drive motor 11 thre-adably connected beneath the frame 45. This drive shaft 10 is additionally mounted in the frame 45.
  • the shaft 12 of the simply constructed deflecting roller or disk 8 is not rotatably connected to the frame 45 of the spinning machine.
  • guide rollers 37, 3'8, 39 and 40 rotatable about their associated shaft 41 are mounted upon the carriage 2 symmetric to a transverse axis and a lengthwise axis and around the belt pulley disk unit 7.
  • These four guide rollers 37, 38, 39 and 40 piercingly extend through the carriage 2 and are conjointly axially mounted at a control plate 42 located beneath the carriage 2 and are vertically movable together with such.
  • Pins 46 piercingly extend through the shafts 41 directly above the floor 2a of the carriage 2 and determine the lowermost position of these shafts 41.
  • the frontal ends 42a and 42b of the control plate 42 are destined to cooperate with the cams 25 and 26 and are appropriately beveled, as shown.
  • An endless driving belt 13 successively trains about the belt pulley disk 6, the guide roller 37, the belt pulley disk 7b, the guide roller 38, the turning or deflecting roller 8, the guide roller 39, the belt pulley disk 70 and the guide roller 40.
  • the drive motor '11 rotates the belt pulley 6 in counterclockwise direction and such, in turn, displaces the driving belt 13. Since the belt pulley 6 has the same diameter at all locations there is imparted to the driving belt 13 a uniform rotational speed. The movement of the belt 13 is transmitted to the belt pulley unit 7 and the ventilator impeller 4. The belt 13 engages at the belt pulley unit 7 with the pulley disks 7b and 7c of different diameter (D and D thereby having the tendency to generate two different rotational speeds at the belt pulley unit 7 corresponding to the respective diameters. However, since both belt pulley disks 7b and 7c are rigidly connected with one another only a single rotational speed can.
